You can buy kilner jars from eg. Lakeland though I have no idea

much they are.

Almost "if you need to ask..." price, kilners are bit OTT for a bit
of jam and even the 1/2 litre ones pretty huge, you are probably
looking at not far short of 2lb of jam in one of them.

You'd be surprised how much jam one can produce from a smallish
allotment.

Lakeland jam jars are substantially cheaper than their Kilner jars

Much more reasonable and a sensible size. B-)

Better still is to hoard used jam jars and only give away jam in return
for
empty jars )

My empty jam jars are no longer empty. They are full of chutney!

No jam for you then )

Not yet. But the batch of plum jam in the cauldron on the hob right now is
almost at setting point! YUM!
